Lintian tag: build-depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version

Type: error

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The package declares a build-depends on an essential package, e.g. dpkg,
without using a versioned depends. Packages do not need to build-depend on
essential packages; essential means that they will always be present. The
only reason to list an explicit dependency on an essential package is if
you need a particular version of that package, in which case the version
should be given in the dependency.

Please refer to Package relationships (Section 4.2) in the Debian Policy
Manual for details.
